us

This principle applies to us foremost. Do we feel disheartened when we fail to live up to our own high standards? Does that lead to giving up on our efforts? Do we excoriate ourselves often? Can we cut our own self some slack? It’s time we became gentle towards self so that we can then be gentle towards all others…
